From Mad in Norway: Few have a conscious relationship with the ripple effects of their actions. On World Mental Health Day, I would like to say a few words about how strongly our actions can affect us in the face of other people. We humans have a great responsibility. A responsibility that can feel both heavy and light. Let’s remind each other of important things.
Let us not lose our humane values at a time when the value of human life is under great pressure.

In the USA money rules the world. I would say Schadenfreude matched with Idolatry. This is the normal person, not ideas of spirit or love, we are the few.
If you look to the USA 21% to 25% are completely illiterate and 65% read at the 5th grade level. There is very little to say here at times for who would could hear you? The pace of American life, the uncertainty of income will stop people from reflection. Hungry men do not think of such things of spirit they think of survival.
Ralph Nader asked this Question: Is your mind corporatized? If it is all human value is gone.
It is one thing to act with knowing and another to act like computer to others lives: just the numbers, the way it is. Deal with it for I got mine
I like your humanity and your thoughts it all points to good a heart and I thank you for your words written here for world needs more of people like you.

I would like to propose a new phrase instead of mental health. The human body abd how it processes life both the awe and the ugly is a muumgusemsirial world. It is not just the brain or so called mental it is all the organs interacting both internally and externally.
The term now used was and still is so easy for the pill pushing SOMA ( Brave New World) world of biopsychiayry. Hopefully that concept is being quashed but the echos are still seem in this terminology.
Skin the largest organ creates memories the sense of smell and sounds well. How this all interacts is still behind my comprehension but I know the term mental health has not helped abd we need to look in a vastly different way.
There should be a monetary prize. And contest for a new phrase that really fits humanity and all of its crisis throughout time.
